Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We say good morning if you're watching the program on
Peacock and NBC Sports Now and our radio affiliates around
the country. We'll have a new poll question, and I
do have World Series odds. We got baseball all day,
all night on NBC and Peacock, all of the wildcard
round matchups.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
And keep in mind, it's a best of three.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
And the Yankees will be without Aaron Judge for that
opening series against the Red Sox. Your World Series odds,
it's the Dodgers, as you would expect, plus 200. The
Brewers are second, plus 600. Then it's the Rays, plus 800,
followed by the Yankees, plus 850. Those odds would change
dramatically without Aaron Judge in there. In case you're wondering,
(00:47):
the White Sox, the longest of shots at plus 4,000.
Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Coming
up Saturday night, it'll be Washington and USC. That's at
the Coliseum. Is this a must-win situation here? With the
(01:09):
overall picture, they had the loss there with Oregon. They
could have lost in Piscataway against Rutgers. Now you've got
UW coming to town. You can watch that 7 Eastern, NBC,
and Peacock. It'll be Big Ten Saturday night. Let me
see if I have anything else that you might find interesting.
DraftKings just sent me this. NFL Offensive Player of the
(01:31):
Year odds. It's Jeremiah Love, a big favorite here. Denzel Boston.
Jadarian Price, Kenyon Sadiq. He had a great catch this
past game. And Carnell Tate, those are your odds. The
rookie offensive rookie of the year, defensive rookie of the year,
(01:52):
Jacob Rodriguez. Then it's David Bailey, Sonny Stiles, Arvel Reese,
and Caleb Downs. We will have the overshadowed. We do
this every Tuesday. Ray does a great job. He finds
five players that were overshadowed by some, you know, by teammate,
(02:14):
by the way a game finished.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
So here we go.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
The overshadowed players from Tuesday starts out with Steelers running
back Jalen Warren. 17 carries, 127, 49 yards receiving. Leading
off the overshadowed Tuesday. Second on that list, Chicago wide
(02:39):
receiver Kalief Raymond. Six catches, 90 yards and a touchdown
last night. He currently is tied for seventh in the
NFL in catches with 19. Kalief don't like it. Rock
the Casbah. Kalief Raymond. Bill's defensive end, Greg Rousseau. Eight
(03:00):
total tackles, two sacks. He is starting to look like
one of the better pass rushers in football. Through three weeks,
he is first in pressures with 23, first in sacks
with six, and first in forced fumbles with three for
a defense that needs to have one of those impact players.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Mason Graham, Brown's defensive tackle. This guy is looking like
he is. You know, that's where, you know, draft day
they made the trade, and then they got Mason Graham,
defensive tackle out of Michigan. Do you have that draft
on that.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Draft day, Ray?
Speaker 4 (03:40):
They crushed that draft. They traded down, so the Jags
get Travis Hunter. They got Mason Graham, Carson Swessinger, who
won defensive rookie of the year, then Quinshawn Judkins and
Harold Fannin Jr.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
With their top four picks.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
That's good. I'm telling you, they are close.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
They are.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
It's not with this quarterback room, but they're close. Graham
has the most sacks in the NFL as an interior defender, four.
So he's ahead of Zach Allen, DeForest Buckner, Leonard Williams,
just to name a few. And the final overshadowed player
this weekend, Broncos safety, Talanoa Hafanga. Hopefully I got close
(04:20):
to that, Todd.
Speaker 7 (04:22):
That sounds about right.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Thank you, Todd.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Five tackles, one sack, two interceptions, and one of those
was a pick six. So he was with the Niners
a couple of years ago. Second team all pro last
season with the Broncos and one of the better safeties.
But when you have the defensive player of the year
in Patrick Sertan, you're going to get overshadowed. That's why
he's part of Overshadow Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Yes, Todd.
Speaker 8 (04:46):
And that second interception, we should say, was the final
touches of the Broncos win. That was the last second
pickoff that officially ended the Rams' chances.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Thank you, Todd. Dylan, what's the poll question?
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Well, talking a little baseball today, Dan.
Speaker 9 (05:00):
So off of the top four odds-wise teams to win
the World Series, as you just mentioned, who are you
taking to win it all? So Dodgers, which is an
obvious answer, but then you also have the Brewers, the Rays,
and the New York Yankees.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I'm going to go with the Brewers.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I'm going to go old school pitching, timely hitting defense,
and I'll take the Brewers. Yeah, the Yankees, that's different
now without Aaron Judge in there.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
People like the Guardians.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
They're just kind of pesky.
Speaker 10 (05:37):
Rascals.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Itchy and scratchy. Yes, yes, Taylor.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Talk about overshadowed.
Speaker 9 (05:42):
They were so close to winning the World Series, but
the whole Cubs narrative just totally blew past any notion
that the Guardians were there.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Right?
Speaker 10 (05:55):
Right.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Thank you, Dylan.
Speaker 7 (05:56):
You're welcome.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Todd is rubbing off on you.
Speaker 10 (05:58):
Todd, stop it.
Speaker 7 (05:59):
Sorry, man.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
This is what happens. He literally is rubbing off on you.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
I definitely told him to stop that.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
By the way, I learned some things with the Toddcast
last week. And Todd.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
I don't even remember what I said, but I'm sure
it was. I don't either.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Well.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
You see me in a different light now? What happened?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Well, you talked about the religious holiday and things that
you can and can't do.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Oh, that.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
And I think you broke just about every, I don't
know if it's a rule.
Speaker 7 (06:24):
But I fasted. I didn't eat or drink for a
full 24-hour period, sunset to sunset. But yeah, I engaged
in a few things.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Yes, that you weren't supposed to.
Speaker 7 (06:32):
Technically, you're not supposed to.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Yes. But you told me that it was important you
took that day off and then you don't even adhere
to what you're supposed to adhere to.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
There's a lot of rules.
Speaker 8 (06:42):
It's hard to follow every one of them. I thought
just starving myself for knowing my appetite. That was more
than enough.
Speaker 11 (06:49):
Yes.
Speaker 12 (06:50):
So, Fritzie, do you partake in these religious celebrations because
of family pressure or? Is it something you truly practice?
Speaker 7 (07:00):
A lot of it was just how I was brought up.
Speaker 8 (07:02):
Some of it is to get out of work and
the rest of it is whatever, the miscellaneous things.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
In that order.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I do think that you take the day off because
you want the day off.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
That's terrible.
Speaker 8 (07:16):
That hurts my feelings because you're not supposed to work
either on the holiday. And I'm like watching the show.
You're not supposed to watch TV. And I'm sending you
guys little notes and look ahead promos and guest ideas and.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
You know, things that I'm not supposed to be doing.
Speaker 8 (07:29):
So I'm not really, you know, I'm homeworking basically when
I'm supposed to shut it completely down.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
If you follow the letter of the.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Making his first start since Christmas Eve of 2023, Case
Keenum with two touchdowns.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
He ran for another.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
One, and he has now won games with seven different teams,
tying him with Ryan Fitzpatrick for most in NFL history.
Stat of the day, stat of the day, stat of
the day, stat of the day.
Speaker 13 (07:59):
Here comes that stat of the day.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Bears head coach Ben Johnson on Case Keenum's night.
Speaker 14 (08:08):
It's all about Case Keenum and what he was able
to do here tonight. I thought he did an extraordinary job.
When the running game's not going, as a play caller,
being able to lean into the passing game and knowing
he's going to get the ball out and go to
the right guy in time, take care of the football,
good decisions, almost 250, two touchdowns, just played really efficient football.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
And couldn't be more proud of him for that. I'm
looking at the Super Bowl odds. The Bills are now
the new favorites. The Packers went from 33-1 to 66-1.
The Raiders 125-1 to 80-1. Chargers go from 45-1 to 80-1.
The Steelers, they went from 80-1 to 100-1, and they
just beat the Bengals. The Giants from 100-1 to 175-1. Yeah, so,
(09:04):
you know, kind of interesting there that Buffalo Bills are
the new favorites there. I'm sure that the Rams would
be happy to give that up. You guys can have
that distinction, distraction. We need to kind of figure out
who we are right now. Tanner in Iowa.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Hi, Tanner. What do you have for me today? Hey,
can you guys hear me?
Speaker 6 (09:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 15 (09:26):
How are you guys doing? First time, 195 pounds, six foot.
I was just calling to see if any of you
guys would want to do a pie in a face bet.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
OK, what's the bet?
Speaker 15 (09:43):
I'm betting that Kirk Ferentz will out-coach Ryan Day and
beat Ohio State.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
All right.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Ray had his hands up first. So, Ray, you'll take
a piece of Tanner in Iowa.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Yeah, I'll take that.
Speaker 7 (09:55):
Ohio State by 40.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
By 40?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Not specifically.
Speaker 7 (09:59):
Ohio State will win. Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
And anybody else want a piece? I guess it only
matters if one of you takes it. Dylan will take it. Well,
then Tanner's got to do two pies.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
That's fine.
Speaker 9 (10:09):
Also, as long as they score less than 45 points,
then I don't really care.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
What happens, but.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yeah, you're back on the Iowa under.
Speaker 9 (10:17):
I am. I got jobbed last week by half a point,
but God just made me want it even more, Dan.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Will in Texas.
Speaker 16 (10:24):
Hi, Will.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
What do you have for me today? Hey, good morning, Dan.
Speaker 16 (10:29):
First time, long time, 5'8, 220, hard. Hey, listen, I
just had a quick question. You know, this Sunday afternoon,
you got San Fran and Denver. Who do you like better,
Bo or Brock?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
I would take Purdy.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I think Purdy is rightfully so an MVP candidate. Yeah,
I'm still waiting for Bo Nix, you know, but, you know,
with that injury last year in the playoffs and he's
looked OK. But Brock Purdy has had some moments this year,
so I would say Brock Purdy right now. Jeremy in Ohio.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Hi, Jeremy.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
Hey, Dan. Thanks for taking the call. Two quick things
for you. First of all, and I think James in
Virginia would agree, Philadelphia got left off the list earlier
of the hateful fans out of the top five because
they don't know how to use the Internet. They still
write all their complaints on rocks and bricks and throw them.
at the Philadelphia Inquirer building. So it's not really a
(11:26):
fair comparison. And second, I didn't know if you could
use your connections with Sandler to get Jennifer Aniston to
be on your piano when you're doing your song or
have Todd on there. Your call. You decide.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, it's a tough call. I might lean towards Jennifer Aniston.
When I did the movie Just Go With It, you
had Kidman, Aniston, and you had Brooklyn Decker. Sandler never...
gets cheated when it comes to having beautiful women in
his movies. I'm like, I said, Sam, man, you always
get the girl and it's always a beautiful girl. He goes, yeah, Danny,
(12:01):
that's what happens when you write the movie.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I said, yeah. Aniston looked magnificent.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
She did.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
And great personality, like funny, self-deprecating. And I still go
back to that moment. So I'm on stage and I'm
a nightclub owner and I'm going to have the let's
get coconutty, the dancing contest between Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman.
And Nicole Kidman takes off her shirt. She's got a
(12:30):
washboard stomach, like truly ripped. And I think she had
had a baby six months prior. Aniston looks over and says,
oh bleep, call Sandler up on stage. Now I'm up
there and I know what's going on. She's like, I
(12:51):
didn't expect that. And Sandman goes, just play it for laughs.
Play it up big. Now, once again, Aniston looked spectacular.
But Kidman looked like she was out of health and fitness.
She had a six-pack. And this was going to be
a competition between those two. And I remember saying to Aniston,
(13:14):
not that she gave a damn, but I said, you
know what? You played it like Carol Burnett. And if
you're familiar with Carol Burnett, who played up the big
laughs and had fun with it. And in that scene,
she's really good. And then Dave Matthews, you had him
in there as well. And that was awesome because he
was always going to add levity.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
So you were also an acting coach. I don't think
I was an acting coach. I was just there sort
of as a advisor.
Speaker 17 (13:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 16 (13:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
As somebody who has been a regular in Sandler movies,
I was trying to help her just a little bit.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Yes, Ray.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
I think that's your best cameo. The here comes big
country line is is a killer.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
They let me keep that in there because I thought
she looked like Bryant, big country Reeves.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
A former van. He was Vancouver, wasn't he?
Speaker 7 (14:11):
Vancouver Grizzly.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
He was a Grizzly Vancouver.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
And I thought that, you know, she was really large
and I, I called her big country and Sandler loved it.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Cause he's a basketball guy. He goes, Danny, love it. Danny,
love it. And I go, okay, keep that in.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Yes.
Speaker 10 (14:27):
Marvin.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
Your cameo.
Speaker 12 (14:29):
And that's my boy. It was more than a cameo.
You had like a pretty good size role in here too.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
He wanted me to play Jerry Springer. He wanted me
to be a Jerry Springer kind of guy.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Randall Morgan?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
TV's Randall Morgan.
Speaker 18 (14:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
That's when Todd got yelled at. You got yelled at
by the executive producer.
Speaker 8 (14:48):
All I had to do was point the camera in
a certain direction, and for some reason I moved it
towards the wall or something.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
I don't know what was going on there.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
All you have to do is act like you're filming
us in this prison. That's all you have to do.
It's a light makeshift camera, not heavy. All you got
to do is follow us. And Todd has it facing
the wall and not where Susan Sarandon is, where the
scene is, Andy Samberg. And then, boy, the executive producer,
(15:17):
Jack Garaputo, he jumped out and he scolded Todd.
Speaker 7 (15:21):
I didn't even realize it was me when he came out.
I'm like, oh, somebody's in trouble.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
And then he got in my face.
Speaker 7 (15:26):
I'm like, I guess it was me.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
I said, Todd.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
You were told just Todd's looking at the scene. He's
watching the scene, not being part of the scene.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
And then you got yelled at.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
And then now Susan Sarandon has no idea who we are.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Zero.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
But we look like a bunch of, you know, slappies,
you know, that we have no idea what we're doing.
Speaker 8 (15:49):
And that was a bad time for me to ask
for a speaking role. Maybe for the next one I
can say something.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
I'll be better at that.
Speaker 16 (15:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Todd's like, can I get a line? And I go, no,
a lifeline to help you out.
Speaker 7 (15:59):
A line to the parking lot.
Speaker 10 (16:01):
See ya.
Speaker 18 (16:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
All right.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Let me take a break. Got more phone calls coming up.
And 877-3DP-SHOW. Dylan's job is to come up with another
poll question. And I think you can do it. We'll
find out right after this.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at 9 a.m. Eastern, 6 a.m. Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 13 (16:26):
Stugatz here, pleased to be hosting college football with Stugatz
and the Bear. We do it two times a week,
every Monday, every single Friday throughout the college football season.
You can expect a little bit of this. Will Stein,
the head coach at Kentucky, joins us. Open bar at
a wedding, ordering a Shirley Temple. Will or will not?
Speaker 3 (16:43):
No.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Will not.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
Ketchup on steak.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
Will or will not?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Will or will not? Will not. Thank you. A little
bit of this.
Speaker 13 (16:53):
Reese Davis, host of College Game Day, is with us now.
Speaker 10 (16:55):
And then I'm going home to the BBC, and they're
saying Jockovich instead of Jokovich.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
Right, because you can't say Jockovich.
Speaker 13 (17:03):
If you do, you know the blowback you're going to
get from the American audience.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
Right.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
And a whole lot of this.
Speaker 13 (17:13):
Listen to college football with Stugatz and the Bear on
the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Let's go around the room, take a guess.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
The average length of a baseball game this season with
the new automated balls and strikes challenge system.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Todd, I'll start with you.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
I'm going to say 246. All right.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Marvin. Marvin. Two hours, 38 minutes. All right. Dylan.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
233.
Speaker 7 (17:49):
Big day, Ray.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
228.
Speaker 19 (17:52):
242.
Speaker 17 (17:53):
242.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
They estimated that the automated balls and strikes added just
one extra minute to the time of a Major League
Baseball game.
Speaker 20 (18:08):
Brought to you by Panini America.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
You know, they made the mistake of calling them robot umpires.
And people thought there were going to be umpires that
were going to be robots. Look, I know AI is coming,
but we're not going to have robots behind home plate.
But the automated balls and strikes, then, you know, people
can now go, oh, OK. All it's going to be
(18:42):
is it's just going to show on the scoreboard ball
or strike.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
It's going to be automated. We're going to get to it.
I like how some of these umpires are like, oh,
you know, they're they're they're taking the, you know, our
ability to form, you know, a game or call a
game or be a part of the game.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
I don't I don't care.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
It shouldn't be an open to interpretation of a ball
or a strike. But for decades, centuries, we allowed that
to happen. Like, you know, he gives you the high strike.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Why?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I know that there's other officials that they'll let you
get away with holding, you know, defensive back, more contact.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
I understand that.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
But this is something that should be regimented because you
can regiment it.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
It can be a ball or a strike.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
But, hey, they're taking away our ability to manage a game.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Just call the game.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
All right. Nobody came to see you, called the game,
and I'm sorry, Big Brother is going to embarrass you
because you don't know how to play. to call balls
and strikes. Some of you don't. And you have your
own strike zone. I understand that, but not anymore. Because
we have the ability to get those calls right.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Why wouldn't we do that? Yes, Todd.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
Imagine if you had a ref in college or a
pro football that decided, well, they have a tight first
down marker like this ref. So, you know, he'll give
you the benefit of the doubt. This one will say, no,
you know, that's not quite a first down in my book.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Well, you could have that by spotting a football. I
think that's an inexact science. I'll be like, wait a minute.
How are you spotting it there? But but we allow it.
And I'm sure there are certain officials who are pro-defense
or pro-offense by how they spot the football.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Yes, Todd?
Speaker 8 (20:32):
And on the rare, rare occasion that they would bring
out the chains, that still doesn't speak to the problem.
If you put the ball in the wrong spot, it
doesn't matter that the chain shows that you were just
short or you got the first down.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
You put it in the wrong spot to begin with.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yes, Ray.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
So I was looking at the average time for a
game before the pitch clock.
Speaker 16 (20:48):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Three hours and 10 minutes. So they shaved off around
35 minutes per game.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
But we grew up and baseball didn't have a clock.
You know, it was that's that's the beauty of baseball.
But but you're taught that at a young age that
I never complained how long a game went.
Speaker 16 (21:06):
Never.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
But then all of a sudden we got to that
point where we're like, come on, get in the batter's box.
Come on, get on the mound. Things were taking longer.
And this could have been, hey, I'm on TV. product placement.
I'm in the batter's box. Whatever it is, the camera's
on me. We're going to milk it for all it's worth.
And then all of a sudden we go, oh, we've
(21:27):
had a pitch clock for a long time.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
How about we implement the pitch clock?
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Yes, Todd.
Speaker 8 (21:34):
Is speeding up the game or when they first started
doing that, is that because, you know, fans were complaining
or when did that actually happen? Is it the kind
of thing where is this sport not exciting enough in
this era where you need everything right away with our
cell phones, where what used to be, like you said,
who cares how long it goes? I'm having a good
time at the ballpark or I'm watching it on TV.
Now we're just impatient. This game's got to end already.
I got to get out of here.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
So did you ask and then answer your question?
Speaker 10 (21:58):
I may have.
Speaker 8 (21:58):
My question to you is, what do you think is
the main reason why all of a sudden we're too impatient?
We can't have these games last a certain amount of
time anymore.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Why didn't you just start that?
Speaker 7 (22:08):
I should have said that. You're right. You always correct me.
Speaker 8 (22:10):
And you've told me many times not to do that.
I got caught in my own rambling. But I want
to know when that decision was made and why do
you think it was made?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I think it's because of attention spans. I think you're trying.
You have an older generation that came up with this
and didn't question it. Now you have a younger audience.
Are they going to stay with this? Are they going
to watch a game and keep score? I don't know if,
you know, dad's bringing their kids and they keep score anymore.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
I know it was important.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
First game I went to was a spring training game
in Scottsdale with the Giants. And my dad taught me
how to keep score. I think I was eight years old.
And I also wondered why they had a player named Jesus.
And his name was Jesus Alou.
Speaker 7 (22:56):
I said, dad.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Are you allowed to be called Jesus? And he goes,
it's Jesus. And I said, okay, Jesus, but it's spelled Jesus.
Go ask your mom. Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 12 (23:08):
When do you think the switch was made from football,
from baseball to football, as far as the top sport
in American society?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I think the magnitude of the Superbowl, I think that
you had, it became much more than just a game.
Everybody was watching it. Remember, they had musical groups that
weren't known.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Up With People. That was a halftime show.
Speaker 17 (23:38):
Say that again?
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Up With People.
Speaker 10 (23:41):
Totally.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Not Uppity People. Up With People. And you remember that, Todd?
Up With People?
Speaker 7 (23:47):
I do, vaguely. I do remember that name.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
But I think once you got, like you made it
an event. The NFL did a great job in making
it an event. I also think fantasy football. I think
that was really, really big. Now, I played fantasy when
I was at the Mothership. I was in NASCAR, golf, football, baseball, basketball.
(24:12):
But I was doing these highlights every single night, and
I was up on every team and every game. So
I'd go into these drafts, and I knew what I
needed to know. I walked by one time. I got
done with SportsCenter. It's midnight. It's 12.05. I walked by
a meeting room. There's probably 12 people in there, and
(24:37):
they're doing a fantasy draft, baseball. And I stopped in,
and I did a draft. I didn't have any notes
with me. I just did the draft because I love
doing the draft. And then I love the one where
you have money, and you have to fit your player
in a budget there. But you have that, and then
you have the gambling, and it just all kind of crystallized,
(25:02):
and boom.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Yes, Marvin?
Speaker 12 (25:05):
Yeah, to your earlier point, also, baseball to me is generational.
I feel like that's passed down from dads to sons
and daughters. Whereas football and basketball, you just go out
there and you play with your friends.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
But I think with baseball, you're rooting for a team,
where football, you're rooting for your fantasy team. Now, you
might root for your team, but you're also– it's weird
to be around somebody where you go, I got the
Bears winning, but I want the Packers defense to do well.
You would never do that growing up where you go, man,
(25:38):
I'd like for Kenny Anderson to do well and Isaac Curtis, but, man,
I'm rooting for the Steelers defense here.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Yes, Dylan?
Speaker 5 (25:46):
You did fantasy NASCAR?
Speaker 16 (25:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
That's a thing? I've never heard of that.
Speaker 12 (25:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
You're deep.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Oh, I was.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
No, I truly got into a 12 step recovery program.
I truly needed to because I I remember I was
rooting for everybody and against everybody in the NBA because
I think I was in four leagues.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
And you're like, I got Mookie Blaylock. Oh, but I
got Glenn Rice.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
But then I got Zoe and I got Stacey Ogden.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
And then it's like, what am I doing? Yeah, Dylan.
Speaker 9 (26:18):
Yeah, I've slowly waned from being in like six fantasy leagues.
One is the perfect number to be in. You always
end up being in three, and you're.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
Like, my wires are all crossed. I don't care about
this one. This team sucks.
Speaker 9 (26:33):
And then you just end up betting on the games,
and then fantasy goes out the window altogether.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Well, it's like March Madness when somebody goes, you know,
I've got them in my bracket. I go, how many
brackets did you fill out?
Speaker 19 (26:43):
Five.
Speaker 7 (26:44):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
You get one. That's it.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
Yes, Dylan.
Speaker 9 (26:49):
We talked about it with showing people pictures. Unless I'm
in the picture, I don't care. Unless they're on my
fantasy team too, I also don't care.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
Thank you, Dylan.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
Welcome.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Nate in LA. Hi, Nate. What do you have for
me today?
Speaker 6 (27:05):
Hey, Dan.
Speaker 18 (27:06):
First and foremost, I love my wife. Also, she thinks
that Dylan is Todd's son. But my question to you
as an avid golfer, what is your pre-shot routine and
your swing thoughts?
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I just got a lesson yesterday. And I don't know
if I have a pre... I should have a pre-shot routine,
but I don't. I always forget. Like I'll get over
the ball and I'll go, wait, let me see the grip.
Turn with my right shoulder, not my left shoulder. And
then I'm totally lost. Adam Posrack, a great teacher. He
(27:47):
came by the man cave. He's got a lot of
videos online, but he keeps it simple. And, you know,
he'll send a note occasionally and just say, hey, by
the way, make sure you continue to do this.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
I'll go, OK. Yes, Ray.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
I think the problem with my pre-shot routine is it's
me imagining all the things I can do wrong on
this one specific hole, and it just ends up happening.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Well, you don't tuck your shirt in either.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
That is true.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
That'd be the first swing. Your swing thought is tucking
your shirt. So you're saying I would shoot in the 70s?
Speaker 10 (28:19):
Yes.
Speaker 16 (28:20):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Yes, you would.
Speaker 16 (28:22):
Yes, Dylan.
Speaker 9 (28:24):
Yeah, we were talking before about like you were talking
about athletes, how they do the best when they're not thinking.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (28:29):
The problem with golf and why it's so hard is
all you do is have time to think.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yeah, it doesn't. The ball doesn't move.
Speaker 16 (28:36):
No.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
And you just stare at it. It's staring right back
at you like a big eyeball. Dave in Colorado.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Hi, Dave. What do you have for me today?
Speaker 10 (28:46):
Hey, you were talking about how you don't want to
walk into the Jets stadium with foreign jerseys on.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Yep.
Speaker 10 (28:55):
Back in the 1981 split season, a bunch of Wisconsin
farm boys, myself included, after the Brewers lost the first
two games at home, we decided to drive out to
Yankee Stadium and watch the games out there. We were
not taking very well. with our brewers outfits on but
(29:20):
luckily we had stashed about four cases of beers in
our pockets and our coats and we got a warm
welcome after that wait a minute how.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Do you have four cases that you somehow put in
your coats.
Speaker 10 (29:35):
You just wear big pants, two pairs of pants, belt. And,
you know, remember, this is 1980s or 1981 when they
didn't search you.
Speaker 16 (29:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
All right.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
My wife has two aunts that came back from Italy
and they strapped cheese and salami on their body they
taped it and you know looked like they were you
know carrying packing a bomb but they they got off
the plane so they had had meat and cheese taped
(30:14):
to their body yes right so.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
It's the wolf of wall street scene but instead of
cash it's salami and.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Cheese yes okay which is more important to you know
italian women coming back from italy Yeah, yes, Ray.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Or yes, Dylan.
Speaker 9 (30:28):
What condition was that cheese in? Because I would imagine
it may have melted a little.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
I didn't have it.
Speaker 5 (30:33):
You didn't have the body cheese?
Speaker 3 (30:34):
No, I did not. They also at one point had
22 cats.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
Wait, what?
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Yeah, they had 22 cats. And they're all over the house.
Speaker 9 (30:45):
So in the one house, they had 22 cats.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
That I can't abide.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Yeah. And a pet raccoon.
Speaker 7 (30:52):
No.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Why not? Why not at that point?
Speaker 3 (30:56):
And a turtle.
Speaker 9 (30:59):
All right.
Speaker 10 (31:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 16 (31:01):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 12 (31:03):
And it's terrible because they're older Italian ladies and being
around the Italians.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
Do you want something to eat?
Speaker 12 (31:10):
They don't get offended if you say no, but with
22 cats, a raccoon, and a turtle, oh no, you
know what? I ate at another old Italian lady's house
before this.
Speaker 7 (31:18):
No thank you.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
They had a cat that was so large, he would
throw himself against the door. Like, if you shut the door,
just because, I mean, if he sat on you, he
could probably crush you. He had to be close to
30 pounds. But he would throw himself against the door
all night long. You truly thought he might knock this
(31:41):
damn door down, but you were not going to lock
him out of a room where you were sleeping.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Yes, Dylan.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
30-pound cat. I'm trying to compare it to like a dog.
Speaker 18 (31:56):
Well.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
Like a decent size.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (31:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 18 (31:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
But it was, you know, pretty compact, and it's throwing himself.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Against the door.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
I'm assuming it didn't work. It didn't, but he did
it all night long. I think his name was Henry.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
But I remember all these cats, and I'm like, yes, Ray.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
I'm seeing obesity for a cat is considered anywhere between
18 to 25 pounds.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Well, no, this was definitely obese. So he's going way
past that.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Yeah, his belly would drag. Like he was... but he
would just throw himself against the door. It's right out
of a Stephen King movie.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Does he know how locks work? Ryan in Utah. Hi, Ryan.
What do you have for me today?
Speaker 19 (32:45):
Hey, DP. Hey, Ryan. Stop at 260. Hey, you have
me thinking now about robot umpires. I think we should
go old school sci-fi and get like a trash can,
spray paint it gray. Maybe even put an ump in
the trash can, peeking out through the little flap?
Speaker 3 (33:04):
No, that would be the Astros. They might be able
to do that.
Speaker 7 (33:07):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (33:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (33:08):
Bringing that up again.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Yeah, good with trash cans. What else do you have, Ryan?
Speaker 19 (33:13):
I wanted to respond to a guest you had yesterday.
I won't name names because my mama didn't raise a snitch,
but he made a comment, super SEC Homer, but he
made a comment about moving towards two divisions in college football.
And I'm curious your thoughts. I think college football would
be better served to have more of a soccer relegation
(33:34):
type because These SEC guys don't seem to watch Texas
A & M, Kentucky, Oklahoma. These teams are terrible compared
to your Utah Utes.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
David Pollak suggested that we're going to eventually get to
an AFC-NFC, but we've talked about that. I would love relegation,
but I think these schedules and... like planning the schedule.
I don't know how difficult that is down the road.
But if everybody knows, okay, this year we're playing that
division and that division, okay, then you could have relegation.
(34:10):
But what is going to bring about relegation? How does
somebody qualify to come up? How do teams' schools fall
out of that? But you see that in soccer. I've
suggested that for years, if you could do that. But
I don't see it happening anymore. But it would be fun.
And I've talked to Greg Sackey, the commissioner of the SEC,
about that. I think they would entertain that. But this
(34:35):
is going to come down to the Big Ten will
add a couple more schools, in my opinion.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
The SEC will add a couple more schools. They're going
to have at.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Least 20 teams, 20 schools. So now you've got 40. Now,
you don't have 40 of the best, but you probably
have 15 of the best, 20 of the best.
Speaker 17 (34:53):
And....
Speaker 3 (34:56):
You know, TV ratings.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
I think you're going to have the haves and have nots.
I think that's what college football is going.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
To be about.
Speaker 12 (35:04):
Yes, Mark. Q, imagine a game between Kentucky and Vanderbilt
and the loser gets relegated. It's going to be the
hardest fought game in the history of college football.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Yeah, because then all these games are meaningful. How about
we take a break? Last call for phone calls. What
we learned, what's in store tomorrow, right after this. Fox

(35:34):
Beatles music when you, I had a party or something.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
And I go, okay. I guess.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
I mean, I don't know if somebody's requesting the Stones
or Zeppelin when you go to a I don't know.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
Wedding reception?
Speaker 19 (35:49):
Yes, Dylan.
Speaker 9 (35:49):
I feel like Twist and Shout is a party slash
wedding song.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
I don't think that's their song.
Speaker 5 (35:56):
But, I mean, their version is the most famous.
Speaker 18 (35:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Yes, Todd.
Speaker 8 (36:01):
But now to me, it's just a Ferris Bueller song
when he went on that parade. Sometimes a song, not
that it gets ruined, but sometimes you now think about
a song, not because of how good the song is,
but because of a scene from a TV show or
a movie.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
OK, what is the worst crime committed by somebody taking
a song.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
Away from you?
Speaker 7 (36:19):
What's the worst crime committed?
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Yeah, that they take away the song. And now when
you think of the song, you think it's a, you know,
Ram truck.
Speaker 8 (36:26):
Yeah, that's what I was going to say. When they
do it for a commercial or something like that.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
I used to love that song.
Speaker 7 (36:30):
And now it's a product.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
That's what I'm saying. It's a crime.
Speaker 7 (36:32):
It is a crime. They should never do that.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Like Bob Seger, Like a Rock. Like that's gone. That's
a truck commercial.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Is there another one that comes to mind where you go,
that used to be something that you wanted to hear?
Speaker 3 (36:46):
And then Carly Simon, Anticipation, and it was a catch-up commercial.
Speaker 7 (36:51):
Yeah, Heinz 57, good call.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Thank you, Todd. Yes, Dylan.
Speaker 9 (36:55):
Wasn't Everlasting Love the Cialis song? Like, this will be.
Speaker 5 (37:00):
When they're in the bathtubs?
Speaker 17 (37:01):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Oh, I didn't know that song.
Speaker 18 (37:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
It's a good song, but all I think about is Cialis.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
I'm just focused on the couple in the bathtubs.
Speaker 9 (37:10):
The outdoor bathtub's not connected to any water source, by
the way.
Speaker 10 (37:13):
I know.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
I can't imagine when you have these pitch meetings when
you go, okay, all right, what do you got for me? Okay,
a couple, and they're in clawfoot bathtubs, and they're just
sitting in there.
Speaker 5 (37:26):
In the yard.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Yeah. And we're selling Cialis.
Speaker 16 (37:31):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (37:32):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
Yeah, let's go. Green light it. What do you have, Ray?
Speaker 7 (37:39):
What about the scoop? There it is.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
That kind of ruined the original song for me there.
Speaker 7 (37:44):
The scoop.
Speaker 5 (37:44):
There it is.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
I didn't like the original to begin with, so it
didn't bother me. I'm sure there's a few of them.
I mean, it's late in the show, but this audience
usually helps us along.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 12 (37:56):
Revolution by the Beatles was used in a Nike commercial.
And so every time I heard that song used in
a Nike commercial, that's all I thought about was the Nikes.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Okay. I don't remember hearing that song. Reggie in Mississippi. Hi, Reg.
What do you have for me today?
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Hi, bud.
Speaker 17 (38:14):
That Cialis commercial, I don't remember the people being in
the bathtub.
Speaker 16 (38:18):
That's hilarious.
Speaker 17 (38:20):
And another thing, I don't believe that guy in 1981,
he and his friends got four cases of beer in
the Yankee Stadium. I'm not buying that one, boss. But
that was an incredible interview with Mad Dog. It's hard
to believe that there's hardly any NL teams that's three-peated
for a World Series, Dan. I mean, that's just hard
(38:42):
to believe.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
It hasn't happened, I think Mad Dog said. A National
League team has not done a three-peat with a World Series.
Kevin in Knoxville.
Speaker 7 (38:53):
Hi, Kevin.
Speaker 11 (38:56):
Dan and the Danettes.
Speaker 16 (38:57):
Good morning.
Speaker 11 (38:58):
How are you today?
Speaker 3 (38:59):
Great, Kevin.
Speaker 11 (39:01):
You know, Dan, first, thank you for taking my phone call.
I would like to comment and commend Fritz for his
Astros uniform. I was fortunate enough as a teenager to
see Nolan Ryan pitch live twice. And Dan, the sound
of that ball hitting that catcher's mitt was unlike any
other game. And I'd been to a lot of games.
(39:22):
It was unlike any other sound I had heard. But
Kudos to Fritz. I would like to chat with you
quickly about the Tennessee, Texas. game we talked last week.
You were absolutely right. If we beat Texas, we get
the recognition we deserve. So I would like to just say,
in analyzing the game, in all three phases, I felt
(39:43):
like defensively, special teams, we played outstanding. I think offensively,
Faison Braden had a learning experience. And I'm a Vol fan,
but I'm very realistic.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
Well, but he was under pressure all game long. I mean,
he got knocked out of the game. But thank you
for the phone call, Kevin. But that's why I said,
don't be begging for any kind of recognition.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Earn it. Go win the game. This day in sports history.
Got anything for me, Marvin?
Speaker 12 (40:16):
Yes, this day in 1957, the New York Giants played
their last game at the Polo Grounds.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Okay. Let me see. Anything else?
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Earl Weaver, 1985, got ejected from both games of a
doubleheader at Yankee Stadium. That used to be embarrassing when
you'd see grown men out there in their baseball uniform
kicking dirt on the umpire.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We say good morning if you're watching the program on
Peacock and NBC Sports Now and our radio affiliates around
the country. We'll have a new poll question, and I
do have World Series odds. We got baseball all day,
all night on NBC and Peacock, all of the wildcard
round matchups.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
And keep in mind, it's a best of three.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
And the Yankees will be without Aaron Judge for that
opening series against the Red Sox. Your World Series odds,
it's the Dodgers, as you would expect, plus 200. The
Brewers are second, plus 600. Then it's the Rays, plus 800,
followed by the Yankees, plus 850. Those odds would change
dramatically without Aaron Judge in there. In case you're wondering,
(00:47):
the White Sox, the longest of shots at plus 4,000.
Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Coming
up Saturday night, it'll be Washington and USC. That's at
the Coliseum. Is this a must-win situation here? With the
(01:09):
overall picture, they had the loss there with Oregon. They
could have lost in Piscataway against Rutgers. Now you've got
UW coming to town. You can watch that 7 Eastern, NBC,
and Peacock. It'll be Big Ten Saturday night. Let me
see if I have anything else that you might find interesting.
DraftKings just sent me this. NFL Offensive Player of the
(01:31):
Year odds. It's Jeremiah Love, a big favorite here. Denzel Boston.
Jadarian Price, Kenyon Sadiq. He had a great catch this
past game. And Carnell Tate, those are your odds. The
rookie offensive rookie of the year, defensive rookie of the year,
(01:52):
Jacob Rodriguez. Then it's David Bailey, Sonny Stiles, Arvel Reese,
and Caleb Downs. We will have the overshadowed. We do
this every Tuesday. Ray does a great job. He finds
five players that were overshadowed by some, you know, by teammate,
(02:14):
by the way a game finished.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
So here we go.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
The overshadowed players from Tuesday starts out with Steelers running
back Jalen Warren. 17 carries, 127, 49 yards receiving. Leading
off the overshadowed Tuesday. Second on that list, Chicago wide
(02:39):
receiver Kalief Raymond. Six catches, 90 yards and a touchdown
last night. He currently is tied for seventh in the
NFL in catches with 19. Kalief don't like it. Rock
the Casbah. Kalief Raymond. Bill's defensive end, Greg Rousseau. Eight
(03:00):
total tackles, two sacks. He is starting to look like
one of the better pass rushers in football. Through three weeks,
he is first in pressures with 23, first in sacks
with six, and first in forced fumbles with three for
a defense that needs to have one of those impact players.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Mason Graham, Brown's defensive tackle. This guy is looking like
he is. You know, that's where, you know, draft day
they made the trade, and then they got Mason Graham,
defensive tackle out of Michigan. Do you have that draft
on that.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Draft day, Ray?
Speaker 4 (03:40):
They crushed that draft. They traded down, so the Jags
get Travis Hunter. They got Mason Graham, Carson Swessinger, who
won defensive rookie of the year, then Quinshawn Judkins and
Harold Fannin Jr.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
With their top four picks.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
That's good. I'm telling you, they are close.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
They are.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
It's not with this quarterback room, but they're close. Graham
has the most sacks in the NFL as an interior defender, four.
So he's ahead of Zach Allen, DeForest Buckner, Leonard Williams,
just to name a few. And the final overshadowed player
this weekend, Broncos safety, Talanoa Hafanga. Hopefully I got close
(04:20):
to that, Todd.
Speaker 7 (04:22):
That sounds about right.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Thank you, Todd.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Five tackles, one sack, two interceptions, and one of those
was a pick six. So he was with the Niners
a couple of years ago. Second team all pro last
season with the Broncos and one of the better safeties.
But when you have the defensive player of the year
in Patrick Sertan, you're going to get overshadowed. That's why
he's part of Overshadow Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Yes, Todd.
Speaker 8 (04:46):
And that second interception, we should say, was the final
touches of the Broncos win. That was the last second
pickoff that officially ended the Rams' chances.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Thank you, Todd. Dylan, what's the poll question?
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Well, talking a little baseball today, Dan.
Speaker 9 (05:00):
So off of the top four odds-wise teams to win
the World Series, as you just mentioned, who are you
taking to win it all? So Dodgers, which is an
obvious answer, but then you also have the Brewers, the Rays,
and the New York Yankees.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I'm going to go with the Brewers.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I'm going to go old school pitching, timely hitting defense,
and I'll take the Brewers. Yeah, the Yankees, that's different
now without Aaron Judge in there.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
People like the Guardians.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
They're just kind of pesky.
Speaker 10 (05:37):
Rascals.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Itchy and scratchy. Yes, yes, Taylor.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Talk about overshadowed.
Speaker 9 (05:42):
They were so close to winning the World Series, but
the whole Cubs narrative just totally blew past any notion
that the Guardians were there.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Right?
Speaker 10 (05:55):
Right.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Thank you, Dylan.
Speaker 7 (05:56):
You're welcome.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Todd is rubbing off on you.
Speaker 10 (05:58):
Todd, stop it.
Speaker 7 (05:59):
Sorry, man.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
This is what happens. He literally is rubbing off on you.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
I definitely told him to stop that.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
By the way, I learned some things with the Toddcast
last week. And Todd.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
I don't even remember what I said, but I'm sure
it was. I don't either.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Well.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
You see me in a different light now? What happened?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Well, you talked about the religious holiday and things that
you can and can't do.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Oh, that.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
And I think you broke just about every, I don't
know if it's a rule.
Speaker 7 (06:24):
But I fasted. I didn't eat or drink for a
full 24-hour period, sunset to sunset. But yeah, I engaged
in a few things.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Yes, that you weren't supposed to.
Speaker 7 (06:32):
Technically, you're not supposed to.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Yes. But you told me that it was important you
took that day off and then you don't even adhere
to what you're supposed to adhere to.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
There's a lot of rules.
Speaker 8 (06:42):
It's hard to follow every one of them. I thought
just starving myself for knowing my appetite. That was more
than enough.
Speaker 11 (06:49):
Yes.
Speaker 12 (06:50):
So, Fritzie, do you partake in these religious celebrations because
of family pressure or? Is it something you truly practice?
Speaker 7 (07:00):
A lot of it was just how I was brought up.
Speaker 8 (07:02):
Some of it is to get out of work and
the rest of it is whatever, the miscellaneous things.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
In that order.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I do think that you take the day off because
you want the day off.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
That's terrible.
Speaker 8 (07:16):
That hurts my feelings because you're not supposed to work
either on the holiday. And I'm like watching the show.
You're not supposed to watch TV. And I'm sending you
guys little notes and look ahead promos and guest ideas and.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
You know, things that I'm not supposed to be doing.
Speaker 8 (07:29):
So I'm not really, you know, I'm homeworking basically when
I'm supposed to shut it completely down.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
If you follow the letter of the.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Making his first start since Christmas Eve of 2023, Case
Keenum with two touchdowns.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
He ran for another.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
One, and he has now won games with seven different teams,
tying him with Ryan Fitzpatrick for most in NFL history.
Stat of the day, stat of the day, stat of
the day, stat of the day.
Speaker 13 (07:59):
Here comes that stat of the day.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Bears head coach Ben Johnson on Case Keenum's night.
Speaker 14 (08:08):
It's all about Case Keenum and what he was able
to do here tonight. I thought he did an extraordinary job.
When the running game's not going, as a play caller,
being able to lean into the passing game and knowing
he's going to get the ball out and go to
the right guy in time, take care of the football,
good decisions, almost 250, two touchdowns, just played really efficient football.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
And couldn't be more proud of him for that. I'm
looking at the Super Bowl odds. The Bills are now
the new favorites. The Packers went from 33-1 to 66-1.
The Raiders 125-1 to 80-1. Chargers go from 45-1 to 80-1.
The Steelers, they went from 80-1 to 100-1, and they
just beat the Bengals. The Giants from 100-1 to 175-1. Yeah, so,
(09:04):
you know, kind of interesting there that Buffalo Bills are
the new favorites there. I'm sure that the Rams would
be happy to give that up. You guys can have
that distinction, distraction. We need to kind of figure out
who we are right now. Tanner in Iowa.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Hi, Tanner. What do you have for me today? Hey,
can you guys hear me?
Speaker 6 (09:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 15 (09:26):
How are you guys doing? First time, 195 pounds, six foot.
I was just calling to see if any of you
guys would want to do a pie in a face bet.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
OK, what's the bet?
Speaker 15 (09:43):
I'm betting that Kirk Ferentz will out-coach Ryan Day and
beat Ohio State.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
All right.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Ray had his hands up first. So, Ray, you'll take
a piece of Tanner in Iowa.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Yeah, I'll take that.
Speaker 7 (09:55):
Ohio State by 40.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
By 40?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Not specifically.
Speaker 7 (09:59):
Ohio State will win. Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
And anybody else want a piece? I guess it only
matters if one of you takes it. Dylan will take it. Well,
then Tanner's got to do two pies.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
That's fine.
Speaker 9 (10:09):
Also, as long as they score less than 45 points,
then I don't really care.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
What happens, but.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yeah, you're back on the Iowa under.
Speaker 9 (10:17):
I am. I got jobbed last week by half a point,
but God just made me want it even more, Dan.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Will in Texas.
Speaker 16 (10:24):
Hi, Will.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
What do you have for me today? Hey, good morning, Dan.
Speaker 16 (10:29):
First time, long time, 5'8, 220, hard. Hey, listen, I
just had a quick question. You know, this Sunday afternoon,
you got San Fran and Denver. Who do you like better,
Bo or Brock?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
I would take Purdy.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I think Purdy is rightfully so an MVP candidate. Yeah,
I'm still waiting for Bo Nix, you know, but, you know,
with that injury last year in the playoffs and he's
looked OK. But Brock Purdy has had some moments this year,
so I would say Brock Purdy right now. Jeremy in Ohio.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Hi, Jeremy.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
Hey, Dan. Thanks for taking the call. Two quick things
for you. First of all, and I think James in
Virginia would agree, Philadelphia got left off the list earlier
of the hateful fans out of the top five because
they don't know how to use the Internet. They still
write all their complaints on rocks and bricks and throw them.
at the Philadelphia Inquirer building. So it's not really a
(11:26):
fair comparison. And second, I didn't know if you could
use your connections with Sandler to get Jennifer Aniston to
be on your piano when you're doing your song or
have Todd on there. Your call. You decide.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, it's a tough call. I might lean towards Jennifer Aniston.
When I did the movie Just Go With It, you
had Kidman, Aniston, and you had Brooklyn Decker. Sandler never...
gets cheated when it comes to having beautiful women in
his movies. I'm like, I said, Sam, man, you always
get the girl and it's always a beautiful girl. He goes, yeah, Danny,
(12:01):
that's what happens when you write the movie.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I said, yeah. Aniston looked magnificent.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
She did.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
And great personality, like funny, self-deprecating. And I still go
back to that moment. So I'm on stage and I'm
a nightclub owner and I'm going to have the let's
get coconutty, the dancing contest between Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman.
And Nicole Kidman takes off her shirt. She's got a
(12:30):
washboard stomach, like truly ripped. And I think she had
had a baby six months prior. Aniston looks over and says,
oh bleep, call Sandler up on stage. Now I'm up
there and I know what's going on. She's like, I
(12:51):
didn't expect that. And Sandman goes, just play it for laughs.
Play it up big. Now, once again, Aniston looked spectacular.
But Kidman looked like she was out of health and fitness.
She had a six-pack. And this was going to be
a competition between those two. And I remember saying to Aniston,
(13:14):
not that she gave a damn, but I said, you
know what? You played it like Carol Burnett. And if
you're familiar with Carol Burnett, who played up the big
laughs and had fun with it. And in that scene,
she's really good. And then Dave Matthews, you had him
in there as well. And that was awesome because he
was always going to add levity.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
So you were also an acting coach. I don't think
I was an acting coach. I was just there sort
of as a advisor.
Speaker 17 (13:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 16 (13:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
As somebody who has been a regular in Sandler movies,
I was trying to help her just a little bit.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Yes, Ray.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
I think that's your best cameo. The here comes big
country line is is a killer.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
They let me keep that in there because I thought
she looked like Bryant, big country Reeves.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
A former van. He was Vancouver, wasn't he?
Speaker 7 (14:11):
Vancouver Grizzly.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
He was a Grizzly Vancouver.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
And I thought that, you know, she was really large
and I, I called her big country and Sandler loved it.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Cause he's a basketball guy. He goes, Danny, love it. Danny,
love it. And I go, okay, keep that in.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Yes.
Speaker 10 (14:27):
Marvin.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
Your cameo.
Speaker 12 (14:29):
And that's my boy. It was more than a cameo.
You had like a pretty good size role in here too.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
He wanted me to play Jerry Springer. He wanted me
to be a Jerry Springer kind of guy.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Randall Morgan?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
TV's Randall Morgan.
Speaker 18 (14:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
That's when Todd got yelled at. You got yelled at
by the executive producer.
Speaker 8 (14:48):
All I had to do was point the camera in
a certain direction, and for some reason I moved it
towards the wall or something.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
I don't know what was going on there.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
All you have to do is act like you're filming
us in this prison. That's all you have to do.
It's a light makeshift camera, not heavy. All you got
to do is follow us. And Todd has it facing
the wall and not where Susan Sarandon is, where the
scene is, Andy Samberg. And then, boy, the executive producer,
(15:17):
Jack Garaputo, he jumped out and he scolded Todd.
Speaker 7 (15:21):
I didn't even realize it was me when he came out.
I'm like, oh, somebody's in trouble.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
And then he got in my face.
Speaker 7 (15:26):
I'm like, I guess it was me.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
I said, Todd.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
You were told just Todd's looking at the scene. He's
watching the scene, not being part of the scene.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
And then you got yelled at.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
And then now Susan Sarandon has no idea who we are.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Zero.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
But we look like a bunch of, you know, slappies,
you know, that we have no idea what we're doing.
Speaker 8 (15:49):
And that was a bad time for me to ask
for a speaking role. Maybe for the next one I
can say something.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
I'll be better at that.
Speaker 16 (15:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Todd's like, can I get a line? And I go, no,
a lifeline to help you out.
Speaker 7 (15:59):
A line to the parking lot.
Speaker 10 (16:01):
See ya.
Speaker 18 (16:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
All right.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Let me take a break. Got more phone calls coming up.
And 877-3DP-SHOW. Dylan's job is to come up with another
poll question. And I think you can do it. We'll
find out right after this.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at 9 a.m. Eastern, 6 a.m. Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 13 (16:26):
Stugatz here, pleased to be hosting college football with Stugatz
and the Bear. We do it two times a week,
every Monday, every single Friday throughout the college football season.
You can expect a little bit of this. Will Stein,
the head coach at Kentucky, joins us. Open bar at
a wedding, ordering a Shirley Temple. Will or will not?
Speaker 3 (16:43):
No.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Will not.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
Ketchup on steak.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
Will or will not?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Will or will not? Will not. Thank you. A little
bit of this.
Speaker 13 (16:53):
Reese Davis, host of College Game Day, is with us now.
Speaker 10 (16:55):
And then I'm going home to the BBC, and they're
saying Jockovich instead of Jokovich.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
Right, because you can't say Jockovich.
Speaker 13 (17:03):
If you do, you know the blowback you're going to
get from the American audience.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
Right.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
And a whole lot of this.
Speaker 13 (17:13):
Listen to college football with Stugatz and the Bear on
the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Let's go around the room, take a guess.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
The average length of a baseball game this season with
the new automated balls and strikes challenge system.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Todd, I'll start with you.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
I'm going to say 246. All right.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Marvin. Marvin. Two hours, 38 minutes. All right. Dylan.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
233.
Speaker 7 (17:49):
Big day, Ray.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
228.
Speaker 19 (17:52):
242.
Speaker 17 (17:53):
242.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
They estimated that the automated balls and strikes added just
one extra minute to the time of a Major League
Baseball game.
Speaker 20 (18:08):
Brought to you by Panini America.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
You know, they made the mistake of calling them robot umpires.
And people thought there were going to be umpires that
were going to be robots. Look, I know AI is coming,
but we're not going to have robots behind home plate.
But the automated balls and strikes, then, you know, people
can now go, oh, OK. All it's going to be
(18:42):
is it's just going to show on the scoreboard ball
or strike.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
It's going to be automated. We're going to get to it.
I like how some of these umpires are like, oh,
you know, they're they're they're taking the, you know, our
ability to form, you know, a game or call a
game or be a part of the game.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
I don't I don't care.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
It shouldn't be an open to interpretation of a ball
or a strike. But for decades, centuries, we allowed that
to happen. Like, you know, he gives you the high strike.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Why?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I know that there's other officials that they'll let you
get away with holding, you know, defensive back, more contact.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
I understand that.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
But this is something that should be regimented because you
can regiment it.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
It can be a ball or a strike.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
But, hey, they're taking away our ability to manage a game.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Just call the game.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
All right. Nobody came to see you, called the game,
and I'm sorry, Big Brother is going to embarrass you
because you don't know how to play. to call balls
and strikes. Some of you don't. And you have your
own strike zone. I understand that, but not anymore. Because
we have the ability to get those calls right.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Why wouldn't we do that? Yes, Todd.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
Imagine if you had a ref in college or a
pro football that decided, well, they have a tight first
down marker like this ref. So, you know, he'll give
you the benefit of the doubt. This one will say, no,
you know, that's not quite a first down in my book.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Well, you could have that by spotting a football. I
think that's an inexact science. I'll be like, wait a minute.
How are you spotting it there? But but we allow it.
And I'm sure there are certain officials who are pro-defense
or pro-offense by how they spot the football.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Yes, Todd?
Speaker 8 (20:32):
And on the rare, rare occasion that they would bring
out the chains, that still doesn't speak to the problem.
If you put the ball in the wrong spot, it
doesn't matter that the chain shows that you were just
short or you got the first down.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
You put it in the wrong spot to begin with.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yes, Ray.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
So I was looking at the average time for a
game before the pitch clock.
Speaker 16 (20:48):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Three hours and 10 minutes. So they shaved off around
35 minutes per game.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
But we grew up and baseball didn't have a clock.
You know, it was that's that's the beauty of baseball.
But but you're taught that at a young age that
I never complained how long a game went.
Speaker 16 (21:06):
Never.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
But then all of a sudden we got to that
point where we're like, come on, get in the batter's box.
Come on, get on the mound. Things were taking longer.
And this could have been, hey, I'm on TV. product placement.
I'm in the batter's box. Whatever it is, the camera's
on me. We're going to milk it for all it's worth.
And then all of a sudden we go, oh, we've
(21:27):
had a pitch clock for a long time.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
How about we implement the pitch clock?
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Yes, Todd.
Speaker 8 (21:34):
Is speeding up the game or when they first started
doing that, is that because, you know, fans were complaining
or when did that actually happen? Is it the kind
of thing where is this sport not exciting enough in
this era where you need everything right away with our
cell phones, where what used to be, like you said,
who cares how long it goes? I'm having a good
time at the ballpark or I'm watching it on TV.
Now we're just impatient. This game's got to end already.
I got to get out of here.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
So did you ask and then answer your question?
Speaker 10 (21:58):
I may have.
Speaker 8 (21:58):
My question to you is, what do you think is
the main reason why all of a sudden we're too impatient?
We can't have these games last a certain amount of
time anymore.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Why didn't you just start that?
Speaker 7 (22:08):
I should have said that. You're right. You always correct me.
Speaker 8 (22:10):
And you've told me many times not to do that.
I got caught in my own rambling. But I want
to know when that decision was made and why do
you think it was made?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I think it's because of attention spans. I think you're trying.
You have an older generation that came up with this
and didn't question it. Now you have a younger audience.
Are they going to stay with this? Are they going
to watch a game and keep score? I don't know if,
you know, dad's bringing their kids and they keep score anymore.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
I know it was important.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
First game I went to was a spring training game
in Scottsdale with the Giants. And my dad taught me
how to keep score. I think I was eight years old.
And I also wondered why they had a player named Jesus.
And his name was Jesus Alou.
Speaker 7 (22:56):
I said, dad.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Are you allowed to be called Jesus? And he goes,
it's Jesus. And I said, okay, Jesus, but it's spelled Jesus.
Go ask your mom. Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 12 (23:08):
When do you think the switch was made from football,
from baseball to football, as far as the top sport
in American society?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I think the magnitude of the Superbowl, I think that
you had, it became much more than just a game.
Everybody was watching it. Remember, they had musical groups that
weren't known.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Up With People. That was a halftime show.
Speaker 17 (23:38):
Say that again?
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Up With People.
Speaker 10 (23:41):
Totally.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Not Uppity People. Up With People. And you remember that, Todd?
Up With People?
Speaker 7 (23:47):
I do, vaguely. I do remember that name.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
But I think once you got, like you made it
an event. The NFL did a great job in making
it an event. I also think fantasy football. I think
that was really, really big. Now, I played fantasy when
I was at the Mothership. I was in NASCAR, golf, football, baseball, basketball.
(24:12):
But I was doing these highlights every single night, and
I was up on every team and every game. So
I'd go into these drafts, and I knew what I
needed to know. I walked by one time. I got
done with SportsCenter. It's midnight. It's 12.05. I walked by
a meeting room. There's probably 12 people in there, and
(24:37):
they're doing a fantasy draft, baseball. And I stopped in,
and I did a draft. I didn't have any notes
with me. I just did the draft because I love
doing the draft. And then I love the one where
you have money, and you have to fit your player
in a budget there. But you have that, and then
you have the gambling, and it just all kind of crystallized,
(25:02):
and boom.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Yes, Marvin?
Speaker 12 (25:05):
Yeah, to your earlier point, also, baseball to me is generational.
I feel like that's passed down from dads to sons
and daughters. Whereas football and basketball, you just go out
there and you play with your friends.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
But I think with baseball, you're rooting for a team,
where football, you're rooting for your fantasy team. Now, you
might root for your team, but you're also– it's weird
to be around somebody where you go, I got the
Bears winning, but I want the Packers defense to do well.
You would never do that growing up where you go, man,
(25:38):
I'd like for Kenny Anderson to do well and Isaac Curtis, but, man,
I'm rooting for the Steelers defense here.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Yes, Dylan?
Speaker 5 (25:46):
You did fantasy NASCAR?
Speaker 16 (25:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
That's a thing? I've never heard of that.
Speaker 12 (25:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
You're deep.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Oh, I was.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
No, I truly got into a 12 step recovery program.
I truly needed to because I I remember I was
rooting for everybody and against everybody in the NBA because
I think I was in four leagues.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
And you're like, I got Mookie Blaylock. Oh, but I
got Glenn Rice.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
But then I got Zoe and I got Stacey Ogden.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
And then it's like, what am I doing? Yeah, Dylan.
Speaker 9 (26:18):
Yeah, I've slowly waned from being in like six fantasy leagues.
One is the perfect number to be in. You always
end up being in three, and you're.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
Like, my wires are all crossed. I don't care about
this one. This team sucks.
Speaker 9 (26:33):
And then you just end up betting on the games,
and then fantasy goes out the window altogether.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Well, it's like March Madness when somebody goes, you know,
I've got them in my bracket. I go, how many
brackets did you fill out?
Speaker 19 (26:43):
Five.
Speaker 7 (26:44):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
You get one. That's it.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
Yes, Dylan.
Speaker 9 (26:49):
We talked about it with showing people pictures. Unless I'm
in the picture, I don't care. Unless they're on my
fantasy team too, I also don't care.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
Thank you, Dylan.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
Welcome.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Nate in LA. Hi, Nate. What do you have for
me today?
Speaker 6 (27:05):
Hey, Dan.
Speaker 18 (27:06):
First and foremost, I love my wife. Also, she thinks
that Dylan is Todd's son. But my question to you
as an avid golfer, what is your pre-shot routine and
your swing thoughts?
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I just got a lesson yesterday. And I don't know
if I have a pre... I should have a pre-shot routine,
but I don't. I always forget. Like I'll get over
the ball and I'll go, wait, let me see the grip.
Turn with my right shoulder, not my left shoulder. And
then I'm totally lost. Adam Posrack, a great teacher. He
(27:47):
came by the man cave. He's got a lot of
videos online, but he keeps it simple. And, you know,
he'll send a note occasionally and just say, hey, by
the way, make sure you continue to do this.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
I'll go, OK. Yes, Ray.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
I think the problem with my pre-shot routine is it's
me imagining all the things I can do wrong on
this one specific hole, and it just ends up happening.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Well, you don't tuck your shirt in either.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
That is true.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
That'd be the first swing. Your swing thought is tucking
your shirt. So you're saying I would shoot in the 70s?
Speaker 10 (28:19):
Yes.
Speaker 16 (28:20):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Yes, you would.
Speaker 16 (28:22):
Yes, Dylan.
Speaker 9 (28:24):
Yeah, we were talking before about like you were talking
about athletes, how they do the best when they're not thinking.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (28:29):
The problem with golf and why it's so hard is
all you do is have time to think.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yeah, it doesn't. The ball doesn't move.
Speaker 16 (28:36):
No.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
And you just stare at it. It's staring right back
at you like a big eyeball. Dave in Colorado.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Hi, Dave. What do you have for me today?
Speaker 10 (28:46):
Hey, you were talking about how you don't want to
walk into the Jets stadium with foreign jerseys on.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Yep.
Speaker 10 (28:55):
Back in the 1981 split season, a bunch of Wisconsin
farm boys, myself included, after the Brewers lost the first
two games at home, we decided to drive out to
Yankee Stadium and watch the games out there. We were
not taking very well. with our brewers outfits on but
(29:20):
luckily we had stashed about four cases of beers in
our pockets and our coats and we got a warm
welcome after that wait a minute how.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Do you have four cases that you somehow put in
your coats.
Speaker 10 (29:35):
You just wear big pants, two pairs of pants, belt. And,
you know, remember, this is 1980s or 1981 when they
didn't search you.
Speaker 16 (29:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
All right.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
My wife has two aunts that came back from Italy
and they strapped cheese and salami on their body they
taped it and you know looked like they were you
know carrying packing a bomb but they they got off
the plane so they had had meat and cheese taped
(30:14):
to their body yes right so.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
It's the wolf of wall street scene but instead of
cash it's salami and.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Cheese yes okay which is more important to you know
italian women coming back from italy Yeah, yes, Ray.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Or yes, Dylan.
Speaker 9 (30:28):
What condition was that cheese in? Because I would imagine
it may have melted a little.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
I didn't have it.
Speaker 5 (30:33):
You didn't have the body cheese?
Speaker 3 (30:34):
No, I did not. They also at one point had
22 cats.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
Wait, what?
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Yeah, they had 22 cats. And they're all over the house.
Speaker 9 (30:45):
So in the one house, they had 22 cats.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
That I can't abide.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Yeah. And a pet raccoon.
Speaker 7 (30:52):
No.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Why not? Why not at that point?
Speaker 3 (30:56):
And a turtle.
Speaker 9 (30:59):
All right.
Speaker 10 (31:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 16 (31:01):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 12 (31:03):
And it's terrible because they're older Italian ladies and being
around the Italians.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
Do you want something to eat?
Speaker 12 (31:10):
They don't get offended if you say no, but with
22 cats, a raccoon, and a turtle, oh no, you
know what? I ate at another old Italian lady's house
before this.
Speaker 7 (31:18):
No thank you.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
They had a cat that was so large, he would
throw himself against the door. Like, if you shut the door,
just because, I mean, if he sat on you, he
could probably crush you. He had to be close to
30 pounds. But he would throw himself against the door
all night long. You truly thought he might knock this
(31:41):
damn door down, but you were not going to lock
him out of a room where you were sleeping.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Yes, Dylan.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
30-pound cat. I'm trying to compare it to like a dog.
Speaker 18 (31:56):
Well.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
Like a decent size.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (31:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 18 (31:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
But it was, you know, pretty compact, and it's throwing himself.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Against the door.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
I'm assuming it didn't work. It didn't, but he did
it all night long. I think his name was Henry.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
But I remember all these cats, and I'm like, yes, Ray.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
I'm seeing obesity for a cat is considered anywhere between
18 to 25 pounds.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Well, no, this was definitely obese. So he's going way
past that.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Yeah, his belly would drag. Like he was... but he
would just throw himself against the door. It's right out
of a Stephen King movie.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Does he know how locks work? Ryan in Utah. Hi, Ryan.
What do you have for me today?
Speaker 19 (32:45):
Hey, DP. Hey, Ryan. Stop at 260. Hey, you have
me thinking now about robot umpires. I think we should
go old school sci-fi and get like a trash can,
spray paint it gray. Maybe even put an ump in
the trash can, peeking out through the little flap?
Speaker 3 (33:04):
No, that would be the Astros. They might be able
to do that.
Speaker 7 (33:07):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (33:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (33:08):
Bringing that up again.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Yeah, good with trash cans. What else do you have, Ryan?
Speaker 19 (33:13):
I wanted to respond to a guest you had yesterday.
I won't name names because my mama didn't raise a snitch,
but he made a comment, super SEC Homer, but he
made a comment about moving towards two divisions in college football.
And I'm curious your thoughts. I think college football would
be better served to have more of a soccer relegation
(33:34):
type because These SEC guys don't seem to watch Texas
A & M, Kentucky, Oklahoma. These teams are terrible compared
to your Utah Utes.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
David Pollak suggested that we're going to eventually get to
an AFC-NFC, but we've talked about that. I would love relegation,
but I think these schedules and... like planning the schedule.
I don't know how difficult that is down the road.
But if everybody knows, okay, this year we're playing that
division and that division, okay, then you could have relegation.
(34:10):
But what is going to bring about relegation? How does
somebody qualify to come up? How do teams' schools fall
out of that? But you see that in soccer. I've
suggested that for years, if you could do that. But
I don't see it happening anymore. But it would be fun.
And I've talked to Greg Sackey, the commissioner of the SEC,
about that. I think they would entertain that. But this
(34:35):
is going to come down to the Big Ten will
add a couple more schools, in my opinion.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
The SEC will add a couple more schools. They're going
to have at.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Least 20 teams, 20 schools. So now you've got 40. Now,
you don't have 40 of the best, but you probably
have 15 of the best, 20 of the best.
Speaker 17 (34:53):
And....
Speaker 3 (34:56):
You know, TV ratings.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
I think you're going to have the haves and have nots.
I think that's what college football is going.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
To be about.
Speaker 12 (35:04):
Yes, Mark. Q, imagine a game between Kentucky and Vanderbilt
and the loser gets relegated. It's going to be the
hardest fought game in the history of college football.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Yeah, because then all these games are meaningful. How about
we take a break? Last call for phone calls. What
we learned, what's in store tomorrow, right after this. Fox

(35:34):
Beatles music when you, I had a party or something.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
And I go, okay. I guess.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
I mean, I don't know if somebody's requesting the Stones
or Zeppelin when you go to a I don't know.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
Wedding reception?
Speaker 19 (35:49):
Yes, Dylan.
Speaker 9 (35:49):
I feel like Twist and Shout is a party slash
wedding song.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
I don't think that's their song.
Speaker 5 (35:56):
But, I mean, their version is the most famous.
Speaker 18 (35:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Yes, Todd.
Speaker 8 (36:01):
But now to me, it's just a Ferris Bueller song
when he went on that parade. Sometimes a song, not
that it gets ruined, but sometimes you now think about
a song, not because of how good the song is,
but because of a scene from a TV show or
a movie.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
OK, what is the worst crime committed by somebody taking
a song.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
Away from you?
Speaker 7 (36:19):
What's the worst crime committed?
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Yeah, that they take away the song. And now when
you think of the song, you think it's a, you know,
Ram truck.
Speaker 8 (36:26):
Yeah, that's what I was going to say. When they
do it for a commercial or something like that.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
I used to love that song.
Speaker 7 (36:30):
And now it's a product.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
That's what I'm saying. It's a crime.
Speaker 7 (36:32):
It is a crime. They should never do that.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Like Bob Seger, Like a Rock. Like that's gone. That's
a truck commercial.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Is there another one that comes to mind where you go,
that used to be something that you wanted to hear?
Speaker 3 (36:46):
And then Carly Simon, Anticipation, and it was a catch-up commercial.
Speaker 7 (36:51):
Yeah, Heinz 57, good call.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Thank you, Todd. Yes, Dylan.
Speaker 9 (36:55):
Wasn't Everlasting Love the Cialis song? Like, this will be.
Speaker 5 (37:00):
When they're in the bathtubs?
Speaker 17 (37:01):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Oh, I didn't know that song.
Speaker 18 (37:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
It's a good song, but all I think about is Cialis.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
I'm just focused on the couple in the bathtubs.
Speaker 9 (37:10):
The outdoor bathtub's not connected to any water source, by
the way.
Speaker 10 (37:13):
I know.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
I can't imagine when you have these pitch meetings when
you go, okay, all right, what do you got for me? Okay,
a couple, and they're in clawfoot bathtubs, and they're just
sitting in there.
Speaker 5 (37:26):
In the yard.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Yeah. And we're selling Cialis.
Speaker 16 (37:31):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (37:32):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
Yeah, let's go. Green light it. What do you have, Ray?
Speaker 7 (37:39):
What about the scoop? There it is.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
That kind of ruined the original song for me there.
Speaker 7 (37:44):
The scoop.
Speaker 5 (37:44):
There it is.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
I didn't like the original to begin with, so it
didn't bother me. I'm sure there's a few of them.
I mean, it's late in the show, but this audience
usually helps us along.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 12 (37:56):
Revolution by the Beatles was used in a Nike commercial.
And so every time I heard that song used in
a Nike commercial, that's all I thought about was the Nikes.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Okay. I don't remember hearing that song. Reggie in Mississippi. Hi, Reg.
What do you have for me today?
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Hi, bud.
Speaker 17 (38:14):
That Cialis commercial, I don't remember the people being in
the bathtub.
Speaker 16 (38:18):
That's hilarious.
Speaker 17 (38:20):
And another thing, I don't believe that guy in 1981,
he and his friends got four cases of beer in
the Yankee Stadium. I'm not buying that one, boss. But
that was an incredible interview with Mad Dog. It's hard
to believe that there's hardly any NL teams that's three-peated
for a World Series, Dan. I mean, that's just hard
(38:42):
to believe.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
It hasn't happened, I think Mad Dog said. A National
League team has not done a three-peat with a World Series.
Kevin in Knoxville.
Speaker 7 (38:53):
Hi, Kevin.
Speaker 11 (38:56):
Dan and the Danettes.
Speaker 16 (38:57):
Good morning.
Speaker 11 (38:58):
How are you today?
Speaker 3 (38:59):
Great, Kevin.
Speaker 11 (39:01):
You know, Dan, first, thank you for taking my phone call.
I would like to comment and commend Fritz for his
Astros uniform. I was fortunate enough as a teenager to
see Nolan Ryan pitch live twice. And Dan, the sound
of that ball hitting that catcher's mitt was unlike any
other game. And I'd been to a lot of games.
(39:22):
It was unlike any other sound I had heard. But
Kudos to Fritz. I would like to chat with you
quickly about the Tennessee, Texas. game we talked last week.
You were absolutely right. If we beat Texas, we get
the recognition we deserve. So I would like to just say,
in analyzing the game, in all three phases, I felt
(39:43):
like defensively, special teams, we played outstanding. I think offensively,
Faison Braden had a learning experience. And I'm a Vol fan,
but I'm very realistic.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
Well, but he was under pressure all game long. I mean,
he got knocked out of the game. But thank you
for the phone call, Kevin. But that's why I said,
don't be begging for any kind of recognition.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Earn it. Go win the game. This day in sports history.
Got anything for me, Marvin?
Speaker 12 (40:16):
Yes, this day in 1957, the New York Giants played
their last game at the Polo Grounds.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Okay. Let me see. Anything else?
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Earl Weaver, 1985, got ejected from both games of a
doubleheader at Yankee Stadium. That used to be embarrassing when
you'd see grown men out there in their baseball uniform
kicking dirt on the umpire.
